Chapter 1564: Chapter 1564: You Believe Everything He Says

This situation, like before, where she clearly indicated she was hurt but he remained indifferent, was the first time.

She knew she shouldn’t have gone to see Maxwell Saxon without telling him.

He must be angry about that, right?

But she also felt wronged. If she wasn’t afraid that Maxwell Saxon’s people would hurt him, why would she go to see Maxwell Saxon?

She, like him, also detested Maxwell Saxon.

The bottle of water was handed to her again, and the person giving it had a domineering tone, commanding, "Take it."

"I’m not thirsty." Thinking about how he didn’t care about her feelings at all made her feel aggrieved.

"Even if you’re not thirsty, drink a bit; it’ll make you feel better." His hand remained outstretched in front of her, as if he would stay in that position until she took the bottle.

It would’ve been better if he hadn’t said that. As soon as he finished speaking, Scarlett Yates couldn’t help but complain, "Who made me uncomfortable? I just asked you to drive slower, but you wouldn’t listen at all."

She felt wronged in her heart, and the words came out in anguish, her gaze carrying a hint of resentment.

They weren’t escaping.

Since Maxwell Saxon had allowed them to leave, he wouldn’t send anyone to chase them.

So his excuse of "the car speed couldn’t be slowed down" wasn’t due to any emergency.

She could sense it; he was mad at her.

He looked at her thoughtfully for a while, "Are you angry?"

Wasn’t that just asking the obvious?

Scarlett Yates pressed her lips tight, not answering him, but her expression said it all.

"You think I don’t care about your feelings at all, and you’re feeling wronged, angry?" He continued to ask, his face expressionless.

Scarlett Yates remained silent.

Her silence was an admission.

Matthew Saxon opened her hand and forced the bottled water into it.

With the forceful action, Scarlett Yates had to take the bottle, though she only held it and didn’t drink a drop.

Matthew Saxon’s voice floated lowly, slightly hoarse, "But did you ever consider my feelings? Do you know how I felt when I heard you went to see Maxwell Saxon?"

Indeed, he was angry about this matter.

"I..." She wanted to explain, but thinking about revealing the true reason, she knew Matthew Saxon would be even angrier.

If he knew she did it to protect him, he would feel even worse.

The words reached her lips, but she only said one word and didn’t continue.

But even without her saying, Matthew Saxon could guess it.

"Were you threatened by him? Did he tell you that he placed many informants in the hospital, and if you didn’t cooperate, he would target me?"

He guessed it all at once, and even precisely described it.

Scarlett Yates looked up wide-eyed, full of surprise.

She truly found Matthew Saxon frightening.

In front of him, she couldn’t hide anything.

"You believe everything he says, Scarlett Yates? Can’t you use your brain to seriously think about it?" Seeing her astonished wide eyes, like a flounder, he found it both funny and infuriating.

"Couldn’t you call me to verify? You won’t listen to me, but why do you believe it when someone else says a few words?"

Scarlett Yates was dumbfounded for a few seconds, and after realizing his meaning, she opened her mouth in shock, "You mean... he’s lying?"
